Volunteer Support & Training

As a volunteer with Let's Talk Science, we prepare you to succeed. You'll have a network of staff and other volunteers there to support you. You'll be provided with a direct contact who supports your Outreach efforts and provides you with volunteer opportunities, as well as access to training, guides, kits and materials to help get you started.

At each of our local Outreach sites, our coordinators are trained and ready to support their volunteers. Every year, coordinators are invited to our regional and national conferences where they're given the tools necessary for success in their local Outreach programs.
